If you recently received an email from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) notifying you that your CBP One parole status has been terminated, you’re not alone—and you’re not without options. This immigration policy has affected thousands of migrants who entered the U.S. legally through the CBP One app.
Understanding the Termination of CBP One Parole
In a major policy reversal, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced that parole granted through the CBP One app is being terminated. DHS is now directing affected individuals to depart the United States immediately. The CBP One app—initially designed to facilitate lawful entry and asylum appointments at U.S. ports of entry—has now been rebranded as CBP Home and includes a new “self-deportation” feature.
According to DHS, individuals who fail to leave the country voluntarily may face deportation and other penalties and could be subject to a permanent bar on reentry into the U.S.
What Should You Do Next?
If your parole through CBP One has been terminated, it’s critical to understand your legal options and next steps. Here’s what you need to know
Don’t Panic: You may still have legal protections in place. If you have filed for asylum, have Temporary Protected Status (TPS), a pending immigration petition, or are currently in removal proceedings before an immigration judge, you may not be subject to immediate removal.
Consult an Immigration Attorney: Seek legal advice to understand your rights and explore options to remain in the U.S. An experienced immigration lawyer can help assess your case and determine if you qualify for alternative forms of immigration relief.
Avoid Using the CBP Home App Without Legal Counsel: The rebranded CBP Home app collects sensitive personal information. Before you submit any information or choose the self-deportation option, speak with a qualified immigration attorney to ensure you are not compromising your legal standing or eligibility for future immigration benefits.
